2006-05-11T08:06:00.001-07:00

i did it again!

same old, same old.

last night, i don't know what has gotten into me again.
i was gonna score a conversation with the guy i was eyeing.

he was asking if i have any lighter. i handed it to him but he was expecting i was going to lit his cigs for him. i didn't know what to do kc bka mamaya i burn him pa since i don't light any cigs kc i don't smoke.

haaayyy.... too bad.

there's always a next time.

seryoso, next time ayusin ko na.

i finally got my mp3 player. i was gonna buy the 1 from creative in an installment basis but its out of stock. its a good thing though. i got a better bargain. i got the one by MSI. its has a built in memory of 256mb but its expandable, just what i'm looking for. currently, i dded 32 add'l. but i'm buying kate's sd card. so that'l be an add'l 128 mb.

good thing about ds mp3 player--- it has fm radio and voice recorder, unlike ipod. we can finally record are jam sessions at mayric's and hear how we sound like. anywayz, i'm gonna go to sleep in a while. i have to wake up earlier than usual bec. tom is the opening of football intrams and there's a parade. i just hope i can finally print my notes so that i can go to sleep already. cya!

SUPERSTAR NORY, my barkada trip character

Too stylish for either gender, you're a staple at art events can be seen gracing the latest coffee houses with your ultra-fab presence. Your quick-wit, sincerity, and acute observational skills make you a blast to hang around with. you know what's in even before it really is, and to you, culture is not a luxury: it is a necessity. Completely cool and over the top hillarious at the same time, you're never without a bud by your side.

new year's resolution

2005-12-26T09:49:00.000-08:00

While sipping a cup of brewed vanilla flavored coffee with melted chocolate, almond, cookies and all-purpose cream , I decided to make my new year’s resolution. I can’t remember the last time I made one, not because I don’t believe in them its just that I haven’t given enough attention in making one.

My first set of resolutions for the year concern my studies. I shall never take an exam unprepared or without studying what I should have studied for the examination. I used to do that a lot, taking an exam with little or no knowledge at all, not because I rely on my seatmate, actually I don’t copy. I’m more on the bahala na habit kind of stuff. On a school day I shall sleep before 12 midnight regardless if I need to finish something. I shall continue what needs to be done in the morning. And if ever I am out I shall make sure that I have no pending job and that I have enough cash and should not exceed twice a week. I shall never be late for any class, training or meeting. i shall start my day with prayer and devotion.

The next set is about my spending problems. I shall start saving money religiously this year. I shall make sure that I have given my tithe regularly. I shall buy only one item that I want per month to avoid unnecessary expenditures. I shall eat lunch at my dorm to save cash. I shall pay my debts on a regular basis so that they will not to pile up. I will keep a portion of my allowance on a regular basis. I will not abuse the use of my atm card. Withdrawal from my account will be made only on a life-and death basis.

If before I care a little about how I look and I only comb after I take a bath and before I go to bed, now I will comb more often. I will not leave the house without putting on lip shine, face powder, cheek tint and the like. I will get my hair coloring and facial treatment done regularly. I’ll do my pedicure and manicure on a weekly basis now not when the need arises or when I feel like doing so. I will not leave the house without my perfume, tissue, powder, keys, cellphone, lip shine, cheek tint, comb and alcohol. I will wear a smile even when my day sucks big time.

I will attend my football training regularly and take extra time to jog to keep my body fit. I will practice my kicks, goals and ball controls. I will set a time to listen to music and practice my being a bassist. I will listen to different kinds of music and experiment more.

adventures!

2005-12-23T04:58:00.000-08:00

its almost christmas! i miss manila. i'm back here in laguna to relax and make the most of what's left of my vacation. last dec. 10 was the finals night of our acausetik. it is also myrrh's bday! we spent the first half of the day pampering ourselves and shopping. here's myrrh while wearing a facial mask.

The latter part of the day was spent designing the stage and the event proper. my crush was really nice. he helped out carry the mobile equipments from the ground floor to the fourth floor. of course i was the only girl, again, who helped carry the stuffs. stupid elevator.

Last tuesday was our paskuhan. it was boring. stupid csc, they don't even know how to provide fun. me and jonet below using myrrh's new fone to take some pictures.

complicated

2005-12-12T04:29:00.000-08:00

i just can't understand him. i tried to stay away. but he keeps showing up to my face. maybe it means nothing to him. maybe he finds me comfortable to hangout to the point that he doesn't mind holding my hands while talking with me in public. he's so careless. what if she sees us. maybe it may mean nothing to him, but what if she misinterprets it just like i did the first time. i'm guarding my hypothalamus this time. haha. i hate this. of all the traits that a girl has, being assuming is what i've got. i am over analyzing things again. but the last time i overanalyzed, i made d right decision. remmeber cebu. i was right not to talk or dance with him. men!

long gone

2005-11-27T07:11:00.000-08:00

i've been so busy these past few weeks, so much has happened. classes started. almost every weekend of november i take a dip either sa pool or s beach.

i'm watching one of my favorite films right now, SERENDIPITY.

i love this film so much. how i dream to meet my guy in a very dramatic way also.

moving on.

before classes started, my fam and i went to La Roca Resort which will be the venue of our lts ds coming december.

one week after, we went to a beach in batangas. my aunt from the states jst arrived last nov. 11, she left last nov. 23 that's why my weekends were fully booked. i made a sand drawing of a bass guitar.

nov. 16 i left for cebu for the ad congress.
on my way there a lot of shit happened. my dad had a mistake booking my flight so i have to buy a new ticket and become a chance passenger. good thing ram was with me, he sure knows his way around. we didn't make it to the first flight. we almost did not make it to the 7:30am flight because some of the passengers uploaded. there was a vacancy for the business class. i had to pay add'l P800 to get in. ram had to pay P2000. i had P2200 in my pocket that time which needs to cover my P200 terminal fee, add'l P800, food, pasalubong, etc. how d heck will that be enough. i left my atm card and credit card extension. wat r d odds?
my P800 was kinda worth it. the food was good, it was spacious, flight attendants are a lot more hospitable, and it was my first time to ride a plane.

lucid interval. haha. im starving. i've been eating a lot these past few days. have to burn calories. hope my football trainings held every t-th-s 3-6 be rescheduled or else i have to run fast to be able to make it to my 5-6 finance1 class. running from the field to the bldg to rush to my class will help, i guess.

continuation.

we arrived at 9:30 am but our baggages were scheduled to arrive at around 10:30-11am. we decided to ride the shuttle bus to waterfront hotel were the registration for the ad con takes place. good thing naabutan p nmn ung mga ksma nmin. after the registration we went back to the airport to get our baggage then we rode the bus again to waterfront and took a cab going to the hotel. when we arrived la pa me room assignment so i had to wait. i had two roommates, guia and madz frm 3ba6. ka-nstp q c madz b4. they wer d ones hu accompanied me the whole trip. we met ann and dyan s bus on the way to the beach party. they r frm 3ba8. ryt there and then we become close as if we met long b4 p. grbe ilang beses kmi nag practice for the pic n nsa air kmi. stig un. haha

commercial break. tpos n movie. ganda. d best. galing ng fate. wen wil i find my destny. w/c reminds me one thng that hapend to me s cebu pro mamaya n yn.

tpos un ngpamassage kmi. grbe lhat kmi ng overslept. lalo n cla. 'til 1am p cla. haha. sa ad con nmn i saw mig ayesa and lea perform live. the first 3 talks was good bt d rest was not that helpful bec we need to learn more concepts muna to be able to relate to what they r tryng to say. syang.

nagbar kmi that nyt s sunflower city. it was fun. ladies' nyt. may contest ng sexy dancng. sya. tanggal calories q. the following day ad con ulit. rming coffee.

grbe dyan got wasted, i had to baby sit her. i gained an enemy bec i was tryng to protect her from an acquaintance. sna nmn he didnt got offeneded. duty called lng tlga.

i2 n ung experience q. i was dancng w/ ann when ds guy that we know approached us. ann was at my 12 oclock. d guy was at my 2 oclock. he stood there for 10 secs w/o sayng a word, wearng a pleasnt face, as if waitng for smethng. then he left. hav i wasted a chance w/ ds guy. was ds another bad result of my thinking too much. i worried kc n if i danced w/ him he'll find it weird. i wasted the 10 secs trying to validate my action. pro l n q mg2wa. thngs wer meant to happen.

at dumating n nga ang last day ko s cebu, and last hours w/ my new found frnds. i miss them so much n. i'l never forget cebu ever.

chickened out

2005-10-17T23:35:00.000-07:00

chicken feet, chicken inasal, chicken bacolod, chicken steak, chicken creole, chicken tinola, chicken soup, chicken afritada, chicken hotdog, chicken longganisa and......

chicken guts!

yes, i have guts like the chicken's.
no offense meant to the chickens.

i have no money, i have lost my potential love, i have low grades.
i have lost everything except my principles...

but lately, as if i have lost them also...

i am, in a way, flirting with someone who is already taken.
i have been benefited by leakages and kodigos.
i have let a fellow female down by depriving her of the truth.

but it is not too late...
i shall redeem myself.

i shall remove any emotional attachment towards guy friends whether taken or not.
i shall study hard. no gimmicks without heading the books first and during quiz nights. say no to kodigos and other forms of cheating.
i shall reveal th truth for the truth shall set us all free.

the thing we call love

2005-10-05T05:28:00.000-07:00

what is this thing we call love?

it hit me.

seattle's best morato. past 1 pm.
have you ever loved someone aside from you family, relatives and friends?
hmmm...
have i?
guess not.
no, i haven't!

love is such a great thing for me. and i believe i haven't felt it yet. its too strong to say i love someone unless i'm sure of it.

call me naive. maybe i am.

so what is love?

love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy.....

call me biblical. but that's the kind of love i want to give and receive. unconditional. without barriers. Godly. great. splendid. real.

how long are you willing to wait?

2005-08-22T06:31:00.000-07:00

waiting is one of the hardest thing especially when there's no assurance or you don't have a clue what's in store for you. patience is a virtue. waiting makes you appreciate more what you acquyired. it makes the fruit sweeter.

change

2005-08-13T10:26:00.000-07:00

change is inevitable, so they say. but should be one's reason for change? is it right to change for someone you're with at this moment? is that an enough reason. what if change also occurs between the two of you? what if that change draws you apart? what will happen with the changes you've made? should you change back?

a suitor of my friend recently stopped courtin her. the reason, she ain't good enough for him. he wants her to change. he want her to stop smoking and saying bad words. okay, maybe he meant good. maybe it would be good for her.

so what's wrong with this picture?

when he courted her, he knew that she smokes and utters bad words. why did he still court her?
why the sudden change of heart? did he find someone better? someone that fits his standards? someone willing to change for him?
the guy initiated this. the girl did not told her to court her and like her. its not as if the girl is the one courting him.
the guy is still courting her. they have not yet entered any commitment yet. he has no right to bargain.
is he near perfect? have he looked at the mirror lately? is everything about him good enough for her?

conclusion
some guys can be a lot more complicated than girls. they claim that we are complicated, but the truth is, they are. change for the better is good. but changing for the wrong reasons will never work. true change will only take place if the reason is yourself or God. If you change for someone and that someone left your life already, that change will be useless.

the boy friend analysis

2005-07-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

i have lots of guy friends and i enjoy talking with them as much as i enjoy talking with my girl friends. i find it very fascinating that i can prove and learn a lot of things from them.

story #1

my friend had an ex girlfriend who is also his best friend. during their relationship, he got close to another girl friend of his. he started to like this girl but he didn't make any move because he was still in a relationship. then came the rocky part in his relationship with his ex girlfriend. Due to their conflict of schedule, they seldom see each other. they rarely have time for each other. Finally, decided to let each other go.

i asked my friend: "if you didn't have any interest with the other girl, do you think things woulds have turned out differently?" he said yes. he said, he could have given it more effort or even another shot. his ex girlfriend found out about this just recently.

conclusion: time and availability are essential parts of a relationship. losing time for your loved one is like giving him or her chance to look for a replacement. and even though you trust each other, you can't erase the fact that there's very big chance that your partner will fall for another person whom he or she gets to spend more time with.

cheating

2005-07-04T15:10:00.000-07:00

most of, if not all don't want to be cheated. but what if you really love that person, would you forgive him? a more bizarre question is that if you know for a fact that he or she will cheat you in the future, would you still give the relationship a chance? would you still pursue him or her? on a normal day i would probably say no.

so let's say we did give the relationship a chance and you are given the opportunity to set some conditions. what would your conditions be? would you say that if ever he cheats on you don't ever let you know? or to make you hate her first before she cheats on you?

me, I would probably say to him not to cheat me with my friend, especially my bestfriend. losing him will be hard. but losing a friend as well will be the hardest.
